Digestibility Of Cheese.

reason Of the fat. they are the more
readily attacked by the solvent. There
seems to be no connection between the
digestibility and the percentage Of
water present in the cheese, though
there is some connection with the per-
centase of fat and the degree Of ripe
ness. From numerous examinations
which have been made of the quantity
of nitrogen dissolved. it is concluded
that cheese. on account of its great di-
gestibility. is the most nourishing of all
foods, meat and eggs excepted.-N T.

A Phystcton'0 Hints About the Best Meth

IAN ounce of prevention is worth a

honored saw. but 1t is one parents
would do well to remember in the days
of Group, measles and diphtheria. said
a prominent physician. recently. to a
reporter. One Of the first safeguards
against disease is pure air and exercise.
Nothing increases the activity of the
lungs like bodily exercise, and in order
that it may be beneficial to the whole
system. it should be carried ON in the
open air. Some children arc too young
to leave the nursery. and it is here
that their little lives are very
often imperiled by ignorant mothers
and nurses. Gas aud par.sfine
lamps should never be used in
the nursery. In almost every room
where gas is burned = plant will droop
and die. Children are like plants; they
require, above all things, pure air.
light and sunshine-not gas light. but
daylight. sunlight, and as much of it
~ possible. The nursery in my house
is the largest and slnniest room under
the roof. In it there are no heavy hang
ings to hold the dust and obscure the
light, nor are there any gas pipes. Gas
is injurious in many ways. Its light IS
too strong for a babes eyes; it absorbs
all the pure air in the room before the
child can get chance to initiate its lit
tie lungs with oxygen; its heat is ener-
waiting and there is always the dangers
of leakages. These lcakages may be

quite large enough to be pernicicus To
health.
Purity of water. however, is as al
most essential as purity of atmosphere.
This can be had by boiling all the water
necessary for the nursery before it is
used. Such treatment removes all inn
purities and destroys their effect. An
other good thing to remember is tsss
necessity that exists for fat in some
form, as an element of children's diet
I have seen fathers and mothers, to

Housekeeping Made Easy.

The suggestion that paper dishes be substi-
tuted for China in domestic use is not one,
but has been made from time to time ever since
the first manufacture of buckets and other paper
utensils that would hold water" Usually
however, the idea has been presented in hui
morous way and as that could not expect
serious consideration. 1t has remained for an
Eastern paper to take up the suggestion and ad-
vocate IL earnestly a most desirable improve
ment. Is is argued that by the use of paper
dishes which could be destroyed instead of
washed after having once served their purpose.
arevolution in household labor would be effected.
This is certainly a proposition that does net ad-
NIT Of contradiction. With no dishes TO wash
the chief terror of domestic life would be re-
moved. The very thought of having only to
gather up the plates. and cups and saucers from
the dinner-table, and throw them in the fire in
stead of putting them through the various slow
processes of cleansing is to bring thrill of
JOY to any woman's heart. Not only would
the labor be lessened but the tyranny of the
servant girl would be destroyed forever. AS
housekeepers accustomed TO remark, they
would not mind the cooking, and other duties,
if it were not for the dish washing" With that
out of the way the other matters could so on
swimmingly under the hand of the mistress,
when the hired girl chose to depart without
warning This arrangement, too would render
immateriai any deficiencies of the hired girl in
the direction of washing the dishes clean. It
would also cave that wear and tear to the mis-
tress's soul now caused by the breakage of choice
china. No longer would the crash of shattered
cups aud goblets strike terror through the
household. But with all these and many more
advantages there is little reason to believe that
women will consent to the proposed substitute.
They will cling to their idols and refuse to give
up their frail cherished pottery to make place
for a serviceable but plebeian paper-ware. For
generations they have incurred the alb
sence of inventions to make housekeeping easy,
but with offered to them they will be slow
to accept it. The assurance that the paper
dishes be made attractive in appearance
will not remove the chief objection. They will

ing they will not lose social CASTE as does the

clouds. It is not easy to obey the behest,
'trejoice eyermore." 1t is easier for burdened
humanity, needlessly self burdened many
times, to cry, with melancholy voice:
But how shall we be glad?
We that journeying through a vale of tears,
Enconpased with thousand woes and fears
How shall we not be sad!'
We fail to realize with the heart, though
we repeat it with the lips, that the Galilean
whose advent on earth we celebrate took our
woes upon Him and gave US reason to be glad.
It is the fashion to talk of the merry making
on Christmas as if all entered into it with
Zest; to assume that it is a day OF rejoicing
with all, in fact as well as in form. 1t is time
that this were really true time that on one
day at least in the year, we became as little
children and were happy as they; that we
rejoiced in truth, letting the spiritual pre-
dominate over the commercial. A recent
poet strikes the chord to which souls too day
should be attuned. when he says:
Dear Lord, since Thou ddst make the earth,
Thou madst it not for grief, but mirtn;
Therefore will be glad,
And let who will be sad
For, Lord, since all is well with Thee
1t cannot well be i'll with me-
With the spirit of these words in our hearts
We can enter into the Lords gates with true
thanksgiving, and into His courts with sim
cerest praise.

A LITTLE CHRISTMAS SERMON.

1t is wonderfully impressive thing, this
worldwide celebration OF the birthday OF the
One born in Judea so many centuries ago. if it
were felt that all the observances were true
manifestations of the peace and good will which
the Child born that day came to teach, it would
be more impressive still. That the Christ
spirit is the foundation of it all is not for a
less and Indifferent participant in the cere-
monies of the occasion can but be dimly
aware of an element in the day different from
that which enters into the merely secular
festival. Were it not SO, were religious feel
ing not the animating principle, the celebra-
ton would not have become so general
throughout civilized lands. No superstition
concerning certain patron saint of children
could have given the day its hold upon the peo-
pie of Christendom. Devout believers reject
the saint entirely, and hold that the custom of
gift-giving symbolizes the gift of gifts brought
TO the sons of men by the Babe who lay
IN the manger. But with all this many
of US, most of Us, perhaps, beyond child
D0Ou years experience vague OlSSatlSfac-
ton with Christmas day, and privately realize
d lack which makes the time one of WEAKNESS
If not of sadness Outwardly we rejoice and
make merry; inwardly there is heaviness of
soul. We talk in glib but empty phrases of
the Joy and gladness Of the sacred festival
but fail TO realize its fullness. Possibly this
is because the spiritual element really back of
all is overshadowed by the material features
which have become prominent The very
profusion and richness of Christmas remem-
brances causes them to lose their significance
as symbols" The tokens of kndiiness and
good will fail to convey their best meaning,
and take on a commercial character. We give
gifts in perfuncto-y way, matter of
duty and custom, forgetting that the Divine
command, as well duty to ourselves, bids
US first to be at peace-the peace that is
something than negative placidity-
peace that means gladness and rejoicing.
Having this, outward observances matter
little; but if they are entered into it is with a
spirit clear to perceive the brightness and
sweetness of life, vision that pierces the
